Link Title and Parameterized Resource Messages

[glwittel-proofpoint]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a 'title' element to <s:link>, however the title text is parameterized text from a resource bundle.  Is there any way I can do this?

e.g.

msg=Hello {0}
<s:link ... title="#{messages['msg']}">...</s:link>

Would result in a title of "Hello {0}".  Basically I'd want to pass the message through h:outputFormat first so I get "Hello blah".  I can't cheat and do something like:  title="#{messages['msg']}#{blah}"  as the ordering would be different in some languages.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Greg

Awesome thanks!  I've documented what I did in case others are interested:

Since we're using Facelets I used the following taglib function to call our formatter function:

<function>
      <function-name>formatMessage</function-name
      <function-class>com.somecompany.util.JSFUtils</function-class>
      <!-- The actual signature is fn(String, Object...) but varargs ... is
      not supported correctly by the reflection functions in: 
         com.sun.facelets.compiler.TagLibraryConfig.java: 
         com.sun.facelets.util.ReflectionUtil.forName()
      -->
      <function-signature>java.lang.String getMessageFromFacesBundle(java.lang.String, java.lang.Object[])</function-signature>
 </function>

In the library JSFUtils, the function pulls the ResourceBundle's message and runs MessageFormat as described:
  

java.text.MessageFormat.format(msg, parameters);

Where msg is a String containing the text retrieved from the bundle, and parameters is the Object... parameter

After this its just a matter of using the taglib:

... title="#{myns:formatMessage('message.idstring', param1)}"
